Another day, another App Engine issue
Seems everyday I am discovering new issues with Google App Engine. Today, I implemented the Qik video channel for the conference, which pulls in the media RSS feed from Qik and displays the latest videos from the <head> event on Qik. Unfortunately, Google App Engine's urlfetch api caches requests and doesn't give you a means not [...] (translate)
Broken FileReference/Finding the most recent Flash Player 10
We’ve been doing quite a lot of stuff using the new FileReference API that allows access to local files without server roundtrips. The current official release candidate seems to limit the allowed file size to somewhere in the region of 512k. This thread on the flash player 10 forums summarises the problem nicely. It’s led [...] (translate)
Flex Builder 3 & Ganymede don’t play together nicely :(
During FOTB someone asked if the Red5Plugin worked with Ganymede. My answer was “yes”, but I was unsure of whether Flex Builder worked with Ganymede. Someone else explained that it did work, so I conceded only to try again to setup my workspace using eclipse 3.4. Again, I was unable to get the Flex Builder [...] (translate)

Storing classes in a PHP Session with AMFPHP
I’m working on a small project with a AMF / PHP backend. The project has different roles and users, and I’m storing the user object in the session of PHP. Now, according to the PHP manual, it should be possible to store complex objects (and classes) in the session. So when I put the user in [...] (translate)

Photoshop Express: Layers? Possible.
I have been playing a bunch with BitmapData lately, just so I can get my head around it more. Admittedly a lot of it has been trial and error, but I am making solid progress.One of the things I recently whipped up was the implementation of layers, like you're accustomed to in Photoshop.Using copyPixels on layered displayObjects( Sprites), you can easily take all of those Sprites, copyPixels from each of them to a master BitmapData object, then pump out a consolidated image. Stuff those Sprite sausages with whatever you want: text, photos, etc. It all gets boiled down to a (translate)
What have I been up to?
When you go to conferences as much as I do and meet up with old friends and acquaintances, the number one question is: “So, Peter what have you been up to?”. I realized that, unless you follow me on twitter and actually read the dozens of messages I post there every week, fairly few people [...] (translate)
ColdFusion Open-Source Update - October 6, 2008
Three new projects and three updates this week. The question I have this afternoon, unrelated to ColdFusion and open source, is, do we get to celebrate DOW 10,000 all over again when this eventually comes back around? As a follow up, how stupid do James Glassman and Kevin Hassett, authors of the now infamous DOW 36,000, seem in retrospect? They probably haven't skipped a beat and are rushing out a book called "DOW 1,000" to cash in on the recent decline. Anyway, back to the topic at hand...
